ZBE-102
ActiveZBE 1NC Contact Element (no mounting base)
Schneider ZBE-102 contact element without mounting base — stacks onto existing assemblies.
Common Applications
Stackable contact element for adding contacts to an existing button assembly. Unlike ZB4-BZ102 which includes a mounting base, the ZBE-102 is just the contact element — stacks onto a button that already has a mounting collar. Used when you need 2NC or 1NO+1NC on a single button.

Terminal Type
How you connect wires. Screw clamp is most common in industrial. Spring cage is faster but requires proper ferrules.

Installation Quick Reference
Mounting: Snap onto the rear of any compatible button body in the same series. The latch clicks audibly when properly seated. Some models require a mounting adapter.
Wiring: Terminals are marked NO (11/12) or NC (21/22). Use 0.5-2.5mm² wire with ferrules. Tighten to 0.8 Nm. Verify with a multimeter before energizing.

Troubleshooting
Intermittent switching
Silver contacts are pitted from arcing. Replace the contact block — they are consumable parts. If arcing is severe, check that the switched load doesn't exceed the contact rating (typically 6A at 120VAC).
Contact block won't snap onto button body
Verify the contact block series matches the button head series (e.g., Schneider ZB4 blocks fit ZB4 heads only, not ZB5). Check for debris or damage on the mounting tabs.
